Product Synopsis Lend me your power… Senketsu!!
From the anime series 'KILL la KILL' comes a figure
of Satsuki Kiryuin based on one of the final scenes
from the anime where she wears Senketsu! The figure
is based on the garage kit created and sold by
Iwanaga Sakurako from Shokubutu Shojo-en - the PVC
figure version has been sculpted and painted to be
as close to the original kit as possible!

Satsuki's beautiful black hair flows around her as she stands ready
to take on the world. The paintwork has been done in
a unique and artistic style which is sure to give
her a powerful presence in any collection!

Product Synopsis The Dark Knight of Gotham City
joins the Nendoroids! From The Dark Knight Rises
comes a Nendoroid of Batman! His entirely black
outfit has been made using different textures for
areas such as the chest and cape, faithfully keeping
all the subtle differences in shades of black. His
batarang and grapnel gun are also included, as well
as an alternate body part completely wrapped up in
his cape! A searchlight with the bat signal is also
included allowing for all sorts of scenes to be
recreated in cute Nendoroid size! The front of the
searchlight can also be removed to display the bat
signal mark alone instead!

Starting
up, players may opt for Dramatic (Story Mode),
Versus (Two players), Free Play and Practice. The
practice function introduces a teacher who
bequeaths the ken of ping pong on inductees of the
sport. Once the actual game starts, the ping pong
is played with conventional paddle slaps, serves
and slices but things also get surreal with the
special "attacks" where the ball swerves wildly
and leaves light trails.

Region
Lock-outPlease note Japanese Playstation 2 games will not boot on
USA or European PS2 consoles due to the inherent

a sack full of Mini Marios and proceeds to vacate
the premises. His getaway would have been clean
but for the pursuit of Mario, who valiantly
interrupts the ape's getaway and gives chase...

Guide Mario through pastel-colored platform levels
in an effort to retrieve Mini Mario toys that are
scattered through the worlds. Along the way,
battle creatures who would stop your progress,
jump on red and blue switches to open/close
barriers and wield hammers to bop assorted beasts.
New tricks and moves may also be learned which
give Mario new athletic prowess.

Traditional Japanese crafts are re-imagined into modern versions in
Kaiyodo's new 'KT Project' lineup of movable toys which
feature joints for posing purposes. First up is a
legendary Kirin.

The first release from the new brand "KT Project" is
based on traditional Japanese art method "Jizai Okimono"
(articulated iron made figures). "Takeya style Jizai
Okimono" is an articulated figure based on Takayuki
Takeya's interpretation of Jizai Okimono, keeping the
product motif and articulation expression to the
traditional basic rules.

Product FeaturesEyeballs are articulated.
Adjusting needle is included in the set. Eye
direction can be adjusted by placing the needle tip
inside the small hole made on black pupil. The stick on
the bottom of the base is the eye adjusting needle.

Set includes Takya style Jizai Okimono suited display
base.
The foot placing part can be chosen freely from 9
types. It can be posed from regular four legged style to
2 legged style, adding more momentum to the posing. Can
be played together with Revoltech Takeya articulated
Buddhist statue series.

Similar to other Yakyuken games on the PSP, the idol
does a little dance and then throws out her hand. Your
job is to choose rocks, scissors, or paper from the
left sidebar. If she pushes out rock to your scissors,
you lose. However, if she falters with paper against
scissors, she's obligated to remove a piece of
clothing. Your job is to continue onwards with the
hand throwing contest until she's completely nude.
Once naked, the girl is shown dallying around in a
short video sequence that serves as your reward for
winning the rock-scissors-paper challenge.

Idol Yakyuken features the talents of Tina Yuzuki
(Rio), Nao Yoshizaki, and Rin Sakuragi in three levels
of janken theatrics where they dress up in different
styles of clothing. In the first stage, the girls are
in short shorts and belly shirts by the pool while the
second stage offers up a cheerleader ensemble. The
third and final stage goes with an eye-popping nurse
theme that's worth the price of admission on its own.
In addition to the janken fun, there's also an idol
profile section with information on each gal.

Original Update: May 23, 2013
The fear that was originally brought to players in
Resident Evil Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS system
returns redefined for home consoles complete with
high quality HD visuals, enhanced lighting effects
and an immersive sound experience. Furthermore, the
home console version will deliver additional content
including a terrifying new enemy, extra difficulty
mode and improvements to Raid Mode such as new
weapons, skill sets and the opportunity to play as
Hunk and other characters from the series. Raid
Mode, which was first introduced to the series in
the original version of Resident Evil Revelations,
sees gamers play online in co-op mode or alone in
single player taking on the hordes of enemies across
a variety of missions whilst leveling up characters
and earning weapon upgrades.

The critically acclaimed survival horror title takes players back
to the events that took place between Resident Evil
4 and Resident Evil 5, revealing the truth about the
T-Abyss virus. Resident Evil Revelations features
series favorites Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield,
plus their respective BSAA partners - Parker Luciani
and Jessica Sherawat. The action begins on board a
supposedly abandoned cruise ship, the 'Queen Zenobia',
where horrors lurk around every corner before
players head for the mainland and the devastated
city of Terragrigia. With limited ammo and weapons
available, the race is on to survive the horror of
Resident Evil Revelations.

Product Synopsis
Sit down to a meal with a set of Attack on Titan-branded
spoons and forks which are packed in a decorative gift
box suitable for collecting. The utensils measure 19cm
or 7.48" in length.

» Arkanoid - Grip the Wii Remote and waddle it
from side to side to control the Vaus as it reflects
balls at blocks above. There's only one stage which is
in the shape of a Space Invader.

» KikikaikaiNinja - Take control of a
shrine maiden garbed in red and white robes and shoot
cards at spherical ghosts that pop out of nowhere to
destroy them. Inspired by the coin-op of the same name.

» Soccer - Kick a ball by swirling the Wii Remote
around like a maniac. It'll blow past two defenders but
get stopped momentarily by the green afro-wearing
goalie. To get it past him also, swirl the Wii Remote
around to build power.

» Swan Shooter - A decent vertical shooter that's
somewhat reminiscent of Danshaku. When you reach the
boss, the warning text "CAUTION: A huge battle afro"
appears across the screen. There's some challenging
crossfire that the boss spits out along with a massive
laser blast.

NCS Game Notes» In the intro to the game, cutesy characters named
Mawasunda and Mawasunda Pink run around, spin, and do
their thing while muscle-bound men with afros hold up
the globe and slowly rotate in place. Psychedelic colors
and 60s flower-power fonts are in force.

» Press the A button and players may choose SOLO PLAY or
DUAL PLAY. The OPTION menu allows you to choose the
difficulty, change characters, view rankings, and
perform file management duties. The Special Contents
section is locked.

» After selecting SOLO PLAY, three modes pop up into
view:

OKONOMI Mode
IKEMEN Challenge
SOKUTEI Mode

OKONOMI Mode contains 24 mini-games but five of
them are locked. Some examples of the mini-games are
described below:

» Sonic Blastman 20XX - Massive meteors are
hurtling towards the planet and Blastman must push them
back into space. Push up and down on the d-pad to rotate
Blastman to meet the meteors and press A to force them
back. A radar shows meteor entry from all sides of the
playfield.

» Bubble Bobble - Classic arcade action where a
green dragon captures beasts in bubbles and pops them.
The monsters continually regenerate and the game goes on
until the time runs out or all three of your lives are
gone.

» Arkanoid - Sweet brick 'n paddle action which
plays faithfully to the arcade original down to the
sound effects and music. To move the Vaus, point the Wii
Remote towards the screen and then shake it from side to
side to move left and right. Not the best control scheme
for Arkanoid but acceptable.

» Robo Clash - A massive robot is spinning above
a city. Your little protagonist is carrying a big
hammer. Whack the hammer upon the robot by moving the
Wii Remote back and forth to destroy it. When the
"DANGER" signal appears onscreen, press and hold the "B"
button to step back as the robot spins its arms around.
If you hit the robot continuously, the game engine keeps
track of your hit combos. We got up to 13 combos before
the robot started to spin and we had to back off a bit.

» Cameltry - Classic maze rotation action where a
marble is moved from START to GOAL by rotating the maze
around it. We thought the responsiveness would be poor
but the screen spins surprisingly quickly and obediently
to the manipulations of the Wii Remote. Kudos.

» Evil Magistrate - Grab a geisha's kimono and
spin her around to unravel it. The Wii Remote motion to
use is a forward-thrust and pull-back movement to get
the spinning action going. If you do it perfectly, the
geisha will spin out of her kimono and appear in her
2-piece bikini. Other targets include a poodle girl, a
mummy (who turns into a skeleton when disrobed), and
another geisha who turns into a Brazilian queen.

» Baseball - A pitcher with a massive afro throws
pitches at the plate. When the ball is in that sweet
spot over the plate, swing the Wii Remote like a bat and
try to hit a home run.

IKEMEN Challenge
An interactive adventure where a lovelorn little boy (Mawasunda)
has to win the hearts of five girls. The game lists each
girl as "Targets" from 01 to 05. Before the action
begins, you select the order in which you interact with
each girl and then you go after them. The path to love
is blocked by mini-games galore which must be conquered
to win the affection of the girls. If you falter in a
mini-game, the level of interest that a girl may have
towards you will drop. On the other hand, if you
navigate a mini-game successfully, she'll gain interest
in you and perhaps love will eventually blossom.

SOKUTEI Mode Select five mini-games and then play
them in sequence one after the other. Perfect for those
who enjoy non-stop action. The time limit is removed
from some the games.

In DUAL PLAY, the options that pop up are:

FREE BATTLE
LOVE CHALLENGE
PANEL ATTACK

FREE BATTLE allows two players to play the
mini-games simultaneously against each other. For
example, in Swan Runner, the screen splits in half
vertically and two players race through a tunnel while
collecting power-ups and avoiding obstructions. Your
only command is spinning the Wii Remote around to spin
the tunnel so that obstructions are avoided and bonuses
are picked up.

LOVE CHALLENGE
Choose 5 mini-games and play them one after the other
against a second player. In between some games, there's
a strange little launching game that may be enjoyed. We
use the word "launch" loosely.

PANEL ATTACK
Sixteen mini-games are arranged in a 4x4 assortment on
the screen. Play them one by one in whichever order you
wish until all are completed.

» Before each mini-game, a diagram on how to hold the
Wii Remote and simple instructions are shown on-screen.

» Every mini-game lasts about 90 seconds.

» The mini-games in Furu Furu Park are a varied lot and
some are taken directly from the Mawasunda NDS game.
Play a few rounds and your wrist will get tired. One of
the more wrist-wrenching games is the one where
Mawasunda sits on top of a motorcycle and revs it up in
time to the cues that appear from the right side of the
screen. You'll have to jerk the Wii Remote like a
motorcycle handle to rev up the engine which will give
your wrist a workout.

Japanese Region AlertPlease note that Japanese Wii games are not
compatible with USA or European Wii consoles. Please do
not purchase this game if you only own a USA or European
Wii because you will not be able to play the game.
